Domestic Violence

EXPERIENCED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTORNEY
SERVING THE FAYETTVILLE, HOPE MILLS & SPRING LAKE, NC AREAS

When hearing about domestic violence, you may apply the term only to instances of physical abuse delivered from one spouse to another. While this is one example of domestic violence, there are many other circumstances that fall under this as well. Emotional, psychological, financial, and sexual abuse are all valid situations that fall under domestic violence. We categorize any instance where a spouse is manipulated or controlled by another so that they cannot live freely and safely as domestic violence.


If you have been subjected to domestic violence, we first encourage you to speak to the authorities or a support system, and it may be a good idea to move, even if temporarily, to stay where you feel safe away from your spouse. From there, please get in touch with our office. Roger R. Compton, Attorney At Law is one of the premier domestic violence attorneys serving Fayetteville, NC and the surrounding areas. We know that it can be difficult to discuss these matters, but please know that we are here to help you and fight for your best interests. 

HOW OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTORNEY CAN HELP YOU

No one deserves to experience abuse from their partner. It does not matter whether it is physical or emotional abuse. You deserve to be treated with respect and valued as a person. If you are subjected to any kind of abuse, you have options for stopping it. The legal system has safeguards in place to help victims and an experienced lawyer will help you learn about these legal options. They include:


  • Temporary Protection Order: The first step is to be granted a temporary order of protection against your abuser. It is a legal document with details about how far they must away from you, that they cannot contact you in any way, and how long the order lasts. It can turn into an indefinite order of protection depending on the circumstances of the case.


  • Divorce: If you are married, you are not stuck with them. You can initiate the divorce process if you are subjected to abuse, especially physical abuse. This can legally end the marriage, and you may be eligible for spousal support as well.


  • Criminal Charges: If someone is abusing you, specifically physically, they may be faced with criminal charges. Additionally, if they are to break the temporary order of protection mentioned before, they will be charged criminally.


Our domestic violence lawyer will discuss all these legal options with you and help guide you through the entire process. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to share them with us. We are here to help you.
